Panther’s Run Golf Links just re-opened on August 31st after an extensive greens renovation. During a recent Ocean Ridge Property Owners Preview, owners saw for themselves the beauty and the playability of the all new MiniVerde greens. Following its temporary closing on June 1, Panther’s Run Golf Links had the sod from all 18 greens cut and removed, with all of the putting surfaces restored and enlarged to their original size and shape. Come out and experience for yourself the joy of playing on the greenest, most lush putting surfaces in the area.

Leopard’s Chase, which opened in 2007 as one of the premier golf courses at Ocean Ridge Plantation in Sunset Beach in the southern coastal tip of North Carolina, will be included in the top 100 rankings for public access golf courses in the nation in an upcoming issue of Golf Week magazine.

Leopard’s Chase was the only coastal course ranked for the state and, after two years of being ranked 4^th, is still listed in the top five courses in North Carolina.  The 72-par modern course, with classic touches, is one of the award-winning four Big Cats courses open at Ocean Ridge.  It reflects the true craftsmanship of designer Tim Cates’ natural style, with one of its distinguishing features being the significant number of holes which require a short carry over water and tidal marshes.  Leopard’s Chase, bountiful with native grasses and plantings, provides a very visual experience for golfers, including hints at each tee box about what to expect next.

In conjunction with the other Big Cats courses, Lion’s Paw, Panther’s Run and Tiger’s Eye, Ocean Ridge offers a total of 72 holes for golfers.
